I was just watching the E3 2003 demo and at the very beggining when they're talkin bout the covenant ship cortana says

It took two in the nose then dropped into the atmosphere

i was thinking that if it had to go down after 2 shots it was either a MAC gun ooor...plasma.

If you read FS you know that cortana got a good look at the covenant plasma cannons...do you think the UNSC ships might have em?

i know i'm not goin on much but i was just wonderin if any1 else thinks its possible

WTF you talking about in space a covenant ship whoops the UNSC's asses. A single plasma bolt can take down a whole UNSC ship, while it takes 2-3 MAC cannon shoots to take down a covie ship

But maybe at the nose of the ship is the control room (Cockpit) to pilot the Covenant Cruiser/ship

Mainly cuz the shields, not the weapons. Only one ship (In FoR) could take out an entire ship in one shot(actually 5 in 1 shot i believe). The main strength of the covenant is slipstreem accuracy IMO, for tactical reasons.
Now....would a plasma shot from a UNSC ship(if it could do this) destroy the shields ANd the ship in one shot?

in the books it says that the covenant ships all have their control rooms in the center of the ship for the most protection

It takes several standard plasma cannon shots to take down a UNSC battle ship but only on Plasma torpedo to take UNSC battle ship down. Yes and 2-3 standard UNSC battle ship class MAC cannons.

I didn't know that (I haven't read the books yet...Shame on me). That make perfect sense though.

Yes, but on the PoA, why did they have windows the size of blast doors? They were using monitors anyways.

Yeah... it seem like all of you read the book's, but frogot the important parts. Cortana was totally lacing all thos covie bastard's with the plasma cannon, I mean sure she enhanced it a bit, but wouldn't we put the good -blam!- on our ship's. The covenant were tearing us new asses with those plasma torpeados. The plasma is much more deadly. Too bad there all dumb as mud, and were fifty times smarter.
